Red Brake Calipers- I completed this project 2 months ago. I spend another 8 hours (2 hours per caliper) cleaning, degreasing, sanding, preping the calipers for 3 light coats of VHT High Heat Red Caliper paint. I completed this project with the calipers on the car. Careful prep and lots of masking tape made the job doable. The paint has held up extremely well. While doing this project, it morphed into many more as projects all at once:
1. Brakes Calipers painted Red
2. I cleaned, preped etc and painted the backing plates and wheel hubs high gloss silver
3. Super cleaned, waxed, ploished and buffed the wheels.
4. I bought new center caps and made my own Black Carbon Fiber to cover the Bimmer Blue for the wheels and all roundles and emblems.
5. De Badged the car.
I love the total over all look and believe the projects were well worth the time and efforts.
I do wish I had 313 wheels but can have everything.
